We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson & Hugh Wheeler
The Blackwood family was once prominent in their small town, but a tragedy left the surviving family members isolated. Constance never leaves the house, Uncle Julian is preoccupied with the past, and Merricat has developed her own ways of protecting the little world they share. We Have Always Lived in the Castle gradually builds a sense of dread as you question how much of the Blackwoods’ strange situation comes from the family’s own secrets and how much comes from Merricat herself.
